I agree .. my M37 would cruise nicely at 50-55. usually
I would stay between the two, ie 52-53MPH ...
After putting a larger 276ci dodge engine in it, I had to
reset the vacuum governor, as with the larger amount of air
the engine would pull, the speed was then limited to 43MPH ..
With the spring re-adjusted, it will max out now at 55 on level
ground ...

Hi Mine always would do 50-55 no problem. It still sounded like it was going to come apart, but it was fine. Over that speed is a challenge for the stock Wagner Lockeed non self energizing brakes anyway. If you have a panic stop you literally would have to stand on them. I added the optional Hydrovac unit that Dodge had which made all the difference to have power brakes.

Hi, Question for 3/4-ton fans: What is a normal high end cruising speed for the M37? How high is it safe to rev the flathead? My son is complaining about how slow the truck is, when keeping the rpm (he added a tach) to about 2,000
max. Thanks, Bjorn
